What to do

  1. Check whether any cPGuard installation is running versions 5.88.12 through 5.88.19.
  2. Treat any server that installed those versions as potentially compromised and investigate it.
  3. Change the password for your OPSShield account, since hashed passwords were taken from its billing and licensing server.
